U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Chairman Pat Roberts (R-KS) and Ranking Member Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) announced that the committee has scheduled a business meeting to consider the 2018 Senate Farm Bill on June 13. Legislative text and summaries will be available at www.ag.senate.gov.
“We are pleased to announce the Senate Agriculture Committee’s timely consideration of the 2018 Farm Bill,” the senators said. “It has been more than a year of traveling across the country listening to farmers, ranchers, rural communities, and those in need. Now the time has come to put what we’ve learned into a bipartisan bill that will provide much-needed certainty for agriculture, families, and rural America.”
The announcement of the meeting was made on June 7 as WLJ was preparing to go to press. A more in-depth look at the bill’s content will be provided at a later date.
